Generation of a few femtosecond keV x-ray pulse via interaction of a tightly focused laser copropagating with a relativistic electron bunch

It is demonstrated in a numerical simulation that an intense fs keV x-ray pulse can be generated by the interaction of a tightly focused femtosecond laser copropagating with an electron bunch. In general, the interaction of a loosely focused (focal spot ∼100  μm in diameter) laser with a copropagati...
